S. Korean prosecutors attacked in the house of former President Yoon in Shamanism scandal

The South Korean prosecutors searched the house of former President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday, according to Yonhap News Agency, as part of an extended examination of the alleged illegal connections between his family and a controversial shaman.

The attack follows the dramatic fall of Yoon at the beginning of this month, when the constitutional court calmed him from all presidential authorities and privileges after its abrupt declaration of war on December 3 – as an unconstitutional move. Since then, Yoon has cleared the president's residence and returned to his former home in the Seocho district.

The investigation focuses on shamanic Jeon Seong-Bae, which is accused of having received a thorough gift chain, a luxury handbag and a high-grade ginseng von to a high-ranking member of the association church. Prosecutors suspect that the gifts for Yoon's wife Kim Keon Hee were intended. While Jeon claims that he had lost the objects and never made them available, the investigators reported a message from the church official who urged him to “return the necklace”.

The authorities are now working on checking whether Kim has ever received the gifts and expand their investigation to the broader connections of the couple to shamanistic figures. Yoon and Kim were previously checked for connections to another shaman, with critics claimed that Yoon's controversy move of the presidential office in 2022 had been influenced by spiritual advice.

KIM was also legally checked in the past, including the survey of the survey of stock manipulations and corruption allegations after secret film material assumed a designer handbag in the amount of $ 2,200.

The assembly scandals contributed to the strong defeat of the government party in the general elections last April. Yoons subsequent statements of the preliminary fraud and the legislature were used to justify his short, failed attempt to impose war law.
